Li Banfeng had a wonderful dream all night. In the dream, there was always a goose feather scratching his ear.
After leaving Suishenju, Li Banfeng found that it was noon again. He realized that he must have a timekeeping device.
Once we get back to Yuezhou, all these things will be easy to handle with just a mobile phone.
It’s getting late and I don’t know if I can still buy a ticket.
Li Banfeng walked out of Suishenju and walked a few hundred meters on the street. Suddenly, he felt a strange reaction in his body.
Li Banfeng couldn’t tell what the reaction was.
He searched the streets for a vehicle, a horse-drawn carriage or a rickshaw, any vehicle would be fine.
As he glanced around, he noticed that passers-by were looking at him from time to time.
Look what I am doing?
I'm dressed very decently today, wearing a suit and a top hat!
The passers-by had no ill intentions, they were just curious.
That's strange, how do I know they mean no harm?
Why are there so many strange reactions today?
The pedestrians did not mean any harm. They were not looking at his clothes but at Li Banfeng's unusual speed.
He wasn't running, he was just walking, his hands in his pockets, casually walking down the street.
But his feet were driving his body forward rapidly in a trajectory that was difficult for ordinary people to understand. By the time Li Banfeng noticed something was wrong, he had already reached the end of the street.
I didn't mean to go so fast...
Looking at the houses on both sides of the street rapidly receding, Li Banfeng tried his best to control his steps.
He did not actively exert any strength, nor did he feel the slightest bit of fatigue.
And these legs seem to be equipped with motors, and it is impossible to stop without braking.
Even with the brakes on, it was still difficult to control. Li Banfeng could stand still, but as long as he took a step forward, he seemed to rush forward at a speed of twenty miles per hour.
This is not good. How come I can’t even walk normally?
Is this caused by the poisonous fog from Kuwu Mountain?
Is this a temporary symptom, or is the damage irreversible?
Although he tried his best to restrain himself, Li Banfeng still reached the edge of the ditch in a very short time.
He wanted to find a quiet place to control his legs and feet. When he passed by a big banyan tree, a rickshaw under the tree caught his attention.
First I took a rickshaw to the train station, bought a ticket, got on the train, went into Suishenju, and then trained my legs and feet.
While thinking, Li Banfeng walked a few dozen meters without stopping. He walked backwards and came to the driver. He stopped with difficulty and asked, "How much is it to the train station?"
The driver took a puff of his pipe, raised his head, looked at Li Banfeng and said with a smile: "Do you still need to take a car to go to the station?"
Li Banfeng stared at the driver for a moment.
He knew this rickshaw driver. Monkey Qiu had hired him before. He was a rickshaw driver with a steam wheel.
It was he who took Li Banfeng from the station to where the peddler was, and Monkey Qiu paid a full five hundred yuan for the fare.
The driver was right. The station was not far from Ligou. With Li Banfeng's speed, he could reach there in a blink of an eye.
But Li Banfeng didn't know the way.
The driver stood up and pointed to the loess road in front of him: "Go north along this road for three and a half miles, turn east and go two miles, then go north. There is a fork in the road in less than a mile. Go another two miles and you will reach the train station."
Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "It's too troublesome, let's take a car."
The driver held a cigarette in his mouth and said, "What's the trouble? You've already reached the first floor of the Brigade Repair Building. How can you not find the way?"
really.
This strange speed is not caused by the poisonous fog of Kuwu Mountain, but by the level of travel cultivation.
Why did Lu Xiu reach a higher level?
Because Li Banfeng stayed in a dangerous place for a day and a night.
When they were on the Kuwu Mountain, Li Banfeng was choked by the poisonous fog and felt dizzy, so he forgot the peddler's instructions.
Staying in a dangerous place for a day and a night will improve your travel cultivation.
Kuwu Mountain is a dangerous place, which means that Li Banfeng has passed the test of traveling cultivation and become a first-level cultivator.
It is a good thing that the travel repair has reached a higher level.
But you can't go up too fast, otherwise you will suffer backlash from the house repair.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. The portable residence cannot produce home spirits, and the home cultivation cannot reach a higher level. In the future, the home cultivation will inevitably be suppressed by the traveling cultivation. All Li Banfeng can do is to control the gap between the two sides.
"Why didn't I feel anything yesterday?" Li Banfeng murmured to himself.
The driver asked, "When did you pass the first level?"
"I spent it in Kuwu Mountain the day before yesterday." Li Banfeng answered truthfully.
The driver smiled and said, "You passed the level the day before yesterday and reached a higher level today, which is considered fast. Most people have to wait for three to five days. You are lucky, little brother. Let's go to the station quickly."
Li Banfeng said to the driver, "I'm too lazy to walk. Since you're pulling a cart here, why don't you do some business?"
The driver was stunned for a moment: "You must take my car? Do you know how much my car costs? Other people's cars are eight dollars, but I have to charge you two hundred."
"Two hundred, I'll give it to you!" Li Banfeng took out two hundred bills and gave them to the driver.
Li Banfeng felt a sense of intimacy with the driver, and he firmly believed that he had made the right decision by giving him the two hundred yuan.
The driver touched the lines on the banknote and said with a smile, "Okay, I tell you, my car will be here in a blink of an eye."
"Can you walk slower?" Li Banfeng made a seemingly unreasonable request.
The driver understood what Li Banfeng meant: "You can go slower, but the slower you go, the higher the price. Five hundred yuan, just go. Do you agree?"
The two words refer to the two numbers on the dial, which means ten minutes.
Li Banfeng nodded: "Agree."
The driver sighed, "You have to eat this fat meat. Come on, get on the bus."
Li Banfeng got on the rickshaw, and the driver pulled the rickshaw, heading north casually.
Li Banfeng asked, "What level of travel cultivator are you?"
He could tell that the driver was a travel repairman. The first time he rode in his car, the driver had already demonstrated the ability of a travel repairman. However, Li Banfeng did not know the concept of a travel repairman at that time.
The driver did not answer: "Five hundred dollars, just want to ask me about my cultivation, do you think it's appropriate? Two words go by quickly, ask something else."
"Does Lu Xiu usually walk this fast?"
"Do you think I'm walking fast?" As he spoke, the driver walked forward step by step, at the same speed as a normal person.
"But why am I walking so fast?"
The driver explained: "The way you walked just now is called the wind on the ground, which is a skill of the first level of Lu Xiu.
When you first reach the next level of travel cultivation, you won’t be able to control your power with your feet. You’ll need to practice for a few more days before you can control it freely.”
"How should I practice?"
The driver pointed to a water pump on the street and said, "Have you ever used a water pump? In the past, when you walked, it was like swinging your arms and pumping water. Now you have to control your strength, and the water that comes out is thinner than a hemp rope. Only in this way can you walk like a normal person."
Thinner than a hemp rope?
“It’s hard to tell.”
"There is a trick. Start by collecting the first force from the hips, then move forward slowly, then collect the second force from the kneecaps, and move forward along with the hips.
Next is the ankle, then the toes, and so on. As long as you have enough understanding, you can figure out the general idea in a day. "
Li Banfeng smiled bitterly: "After reaching a certain level, do I still have to learn to walk again?"
"Don't complain about the trouble. It may be hard to walk at first, and you may have to fall a few times. But once you learn the tricks, walking sixty or seventy miles in an hour will be no problem."
With this speed, the basic training of twenty miles a day can be completed in less than half an hour.
But the problem is...
"Is it enough to walk twenty miles a day for one level of travel repair?"
"Not enough!" The driver shook his head repeatedly, "If we go to ordinary places, it will take at least 50 miles a day."
Fifty miles?
It's not a big problem.
"What do you mean by an ordinary place?"
“The streets and alleys are all ordinary places.”
"What's unusual?"
"Go up the mountain, the steeper the better; go into the water, the deeper the better. There is a muddy swamp in Lanqing Village. If you can walk two miles out of it, your practice for the day is complete.
There is a Daogui Ridge on Yangcha Mountain. If you walk one mile on the ridge, not only will you accumulate enough practice, but you can also save up a day's time.
The essence of travel cultivation lies in this dangerous terrain. The more dangerous the terrain, the faster your cultivation will improve."
Li Banfeng was touched: "On Kuwu Mountain, your cultivation level has improved very quickly, right?"
The driver looked back and said, "You've been to Kuwu Mountain? You went there to pick snake chrysanthemums, right?"
Li Banfeng did not deny it.
The driver shook his head and said, "I advise you not to go there. There are so many people going up and down the mountain. You don't know how many people have lost their lives on that mountain.
You are lucky to be able to come back alive. You are indeed lucky. You can survive the daybreak. If you are lucky, you should cherish your life. It is not worth sacrificing such a good life for a few dollars."
"We go to Kuwu Mountain to make money, but money is not easy to make after all." Li Banfeng feels deeply about this.
The driver shook his head and laughed, "There are many good jobs to make money. Pulling a rickshaw is a good job. Last time I took your urgent job, I made 500 yuan for one trip. Today I will take your job again and make another 500 yuan.
I heard that this year, all the major drugstores are selling snakeweed for only NT$25 per plant. Tell me, who is making more money?
According to what he said, it is indeed easier to make money by pulling a cart.
The driver laughed and said, "You look down on this business and think pulling a rickshaw is shameful. I also look down on you who risk your lives and think your lives are worthless."
Li Banfeng stopped arguing with the driver about his profession and asked, "How can I find a suitable place to practice? A place that is a little dangerous, but not too dangerous?"
The driver replied briefly: "You should travel within your capabilities in dangerous places and stay away from dangerous people. Kuwu Mountain is a dangerous place and full of dangerous people. You shouldn't go to such a place!"
"How can I distinguish between dangerous places and dangerous people?"
"Travel cultivators can sense danger. This is called seeking good fortune and avoiding danger. This is a skill that only travel cultivators have. Not only can they see dangerous places, but they can also see dangerous people."
Li Banfeng's eyes lit up: "One level of travel cultivation, there are two skills?"
